Supposedly you can get any electronic item your heart desires here, for only about 10% more than the states. Of course that cost doesn't include the equipment needed to actually use it. First off UAE is on 220V/240V (I don't actually know which it is...), and most gear from the states is on 110V/120V. So means I need a converter to get over. A 100W converter costs about 100DHS ($1 = 3.67DHS) and the plug converter is about 12DHS. So as an example, our US made baby monitor plugs into the transformer/converter which plugs into the plug converter and then into the wall.
Sorry for the bad formatting above... But the part that kills me, is that nearly everything electronic comes in the European plug format versus the above 3 rectangular plugs (UK Style). Why not just either change the wall sockets or change the cables coming out of the appliances?
Anyhow, it's just annoying trying to plug anything in even without the sometimes needed transformer.

This blog is a cruel joke. You haven't updated in two months. You're about as worthless as me working at UOP.
